Disallowed Use
Permission is never granted for use of International Journal of Veterinary Science for endorsements, implied or otherwise, of products or services, or to use contents as part of advertisements or advertising supplements. Rights for some IJVS articles may be reverted to the authors. International Journal of Veterinary Science reserves the right to redirect any inquiry regarding an IJVS article to the corresponding author for final disposition.

Article Withdrawal
This clause of the policy is valid only for In-Press Articles which represent early versions of articles and sometimes contain errors or may have been accidentally submitted twice. Occasionally, but less frequently, the articles may represent infringements of professional ethical codes, such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like.

Article Retraction
This clause of the policy applies on the published (In-Press/Archive) papers in the International Journal of Veterinary Science those found violating professional ethical codes, such as multiple submission, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data or the like. The retraction of an article by its authors or the editor under the advice of members of the scholarly community has long been an occasional feature of the learned world. Standards for dealing with retractions have been developed by a number of library and scholarly bodies, and this best practice is adopted for article retraction by the IJVS. A retraction note titled “Retraction: [article title]” signed by the authors and/or the editor is published in the paginated part of a subsequent issue of the journal and listed in the contents list. In the electronic version, a link is made to the original article. The online article is preceded by a screen containing the retraction note. It is to this screen that the link resolves; the reader can then proceed to the article itself. The original article is retained unchanged save for a watermark on the (.pdf) indicating on each page that it is “retracted.”

Article Removal: Legal limitations
In an extremely limited number of cases, it may be necessary to remove an article from the online database. This will only occur where the article is clearly defamatory, or infringes others’ legal rights, or where the article is, or we have good reason to expect it will be, the subject of a court order, or where the article, if acted upon, might pose a serious health risk. In these circumstances, while the metadata (Title and Authors) will be retained, the text will be replaced with a screen indicating the article has been removed for legal reasons.

Corrigendum
Corrigendum can be issued if any major error/mistake is found in text/tables/figures of the manuscript. Changes in sequence of Authors, addition/deletion of authors are not allowed after acceptance, nor corrigendum will be issued for changes in sequence of Authors, corresponding Author(s) and their affiliations.
